President Lee Jae-myung has put his private home up for sale at a below-market price to help stabilize the property market, Cheong Wa Dae said on February 27. The apartment in Seongnam, south of Seoul, is jointly owned with first lady Kim Hae-kyung and measures 164 square meters, purchased in 1998 for 360 million won. The move aligns with the government's push for multiple-home owners to sell ahead of the end of a temporary capital gains tax suspension in May.
